Thank You! Your tank looks good as well! Actually your advice makes perfect sense, and is what I should do as well.Your tank looks amazing even with the Cyanobacteria. (I really like the orange coral in the back corner, I can’t tell what it is though.) It may be different, because my tank is tiny. When I had Cyanobacteria in my 16 gallon biocube, I added flow and kept with my regular feeding and water change schedule. In my opinion most of this stuff will sort itself out. I would just brush it off my corals and let it grow elsewhere. It died out in my tank once it overtook all the space I let it. I hope this helped. This is my most recent picture of the biocube, it has been mostly algae/bacteria free for a while. It’s an ultra low tech, so I’m not sure if my methods will work for your significantly more advanced (and very impressive) tank.
This is the flow right now..
Sorry for filming it with a potato
Wow you have a lot of flow! Don’t think that’s an issue
Is there a specific area where the detritus collects? That you could then easily siphon and remove the majority of the nasties all at once? When I turkey baste before a water change, I turn the flow off completely so I can just blast everything to the spot I want to siphon. You have a larger tank than me (I’m at 28g) but it should still work.
I loved it. It is a bit noisy for my liking, but the quality of the foam is worth it.How did you find the BK mini 160 ran on the 55g tank ? I just picked one up for my 60g cube and I was affraid it wont perform on the small tank.
Noisy ? I heard the complete opposite... I went with the BK over the Nyos as I heard it was silent. Hopefully I won't regret it. I have been trying to purchase equipment on a noise/performance basis. No issues with the bioload of the 55g ? How many fish ?I loved it. It is a bit noisy for my liking, but the quality of the foam is worth it.
